Good morning and happy last day of school for 2017!

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and a restful winter break.  Thank you for what you do for the students at AHS each and every day.  Your hard work and commitment does not go unnoticed.  This week our Wednesday question in the front hallway was "Who is someone at AHS you appreciate?  Thank them!"  I hope many of you heard some thank you's over the last couple of days.  I know the students value you as much as I do.

The building is scheduled to be open next week on Tuesday through Friday from 7am-2:45pm although with the forecasted snow there may be a delay Tuesday.  The front office will be closed all week.  I will be in on Wednesday but can be reached through email all week in case of emergency.

From Student Council:
Thanks to everyone who came out for Clocker Idol, and congratulations to Adrianna Fawkes, our 2017 "Clocker Idol"!  The Ashland High School Council raised $1225.95, to be donated to the Ashland Emergency Fund.


If you weren't able to make it, WACA-TV filmed the event and as soon as they've finished their work on it, it will be posted online at: https://sites.google.com/site/stucoashland/videos

Have a great week!

Good afternoon- Thanks to everyone who helped to make New Student Orientation a success last night. It was great to see so many students and staff in the building. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday. We start at 8AM in the auditorium. There will be some members of the Class of 2026 painting their parking spots on Monday afternoon. Please try to park in the faculty parking lot or in the back of the building if you usually park in the student section.  New staff, please join the staff  Google Classroom . All information sent to faculty/staff will be housed here. The  class code is a5ca6a4. The custodians have been working hard to make sure each classroom has the correct number of desks (minus study halls). There may be a few classrooms off a desk or two based on student moves at the end of this week. If anyone has furniture in their rooms that is not being used, please let me know. We are short some L-shaped desks, under-desk file cabinets, and bookcases....

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms & mother figures out there- Best of luck to the special athletes competing in the 5-Town Special Olympics today!  I apologize for the late notice, but we will do a class meeting with the juniors/prom attendees on Tuesday, May 13, and the seniors on Wednesday, May 14, during x-block. Please send your second block seniors to the auditorium, as we are not able to make announcements on 5/14.  Art Saves Ashland, which includes the student art show, as well as the Spring Choral Concert, are happening back to back on Thursday, May 15, starting at 4pm.  The concert is at 7pm in the auditorium.

Good morning- I hope the adjustment to the clocks springing forward hasn't thrown you off too much. I love that it means more light in the afternoon/evening.  On Thursday, March 13 year 2/3 teachers from Milford and Nipmuc High Schools will be here for learning walks. I have shared a schedule with impacted teachers but it may change over the next few days. Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to welcome new educators.  I am sure you saw Jim's message that the School Committee will hear our proposal on Competency Determination for the Class of 2025 at their meeting on Wednesday, March 12. I hope to share an update at our faculty meeting on Thursday, March 13, after school in the library . The meeting will involve MCAS training. As you are aware, the state has moved to a new portal so it will be important information for everyone to hear. Training for staff that do not attend faculty meetings will be scheduled at another time. Following the training, we will be walking...
